Does anybody have pictures form the real team?


I was just wondering if someone has some pictures of them, 'cause I'd like to see how they really looked like. Especially Plecki.
Thanks allready!

I asked this question on this board a couple of years ago. Nobody seem to have any.

Oh, they definately existed. In fact, I remember seeing the story on Channel 1 news when I was in school. I, kinda, remember Jena's real life character, Jolie as being real outspoken and actually saying that she was going to sleep with her trophy at night. But this was a long time ago, so the memory gets foggy. But, back to the point, apparently pictures of these kids are hard to find.

Jolie Fitch has a myspace (looks nothing like what I pictured), and one of her friends on there was also one of the students involved (I think)

My husband was in Chicago at the time it happened and according to him it was all over the news but it wasn't the front page news that they portray it to be. Kind of like they wait until after they show their top stories (you know things like murders and more important things like that) and then show something about it. Except for when their was finally a confession and they interruptted shows for a special report.

You can see pics if you have a library who has microfiche of the Chicago Sun Times from the time when it happened. That's how I saw them and none of them look like the actors in this film.

Here is an article which shows a picture of the entire team, Dr. Plecki, and Principal Kiamos:

When this was first shown on HBO, that network's message board had a thread on this movie. Several of the Steinmetz team members as well as a couple of Whitney Young team members added comments. Of course they could have all been impostors, but the tone of the discussion seemed realistic and at no point was anyone's true identity challenged, so I assume that it was the real Jolie Fitch, "Irwin Flickas" and others who were posting messages.

One thing that Jolie indicated was that even though the movie showed a 7-member team, there were in fact more members on the real team (the photo in the linked article shows 9 members). Each of the movie characters corresponded to a real-life team member except for Paul, who was a fictitious character meant to be a composite of the rest of the team.

Jolie Fitch was the only team member whose real name was used in the movie. Since there were only two females, it's also reasonable to deduce that the character of Agnieska represented the other female shown in the photo (this was also confirmed by an anecdote that Jolie told on the message board as well as an old news clip shown on the Dr. Phil show). You could probably make an educated guess as to which real-life team member corresponded to the remaining movie characters.

By the way, Jolie is now apparently married to Christopher Bor, the team member shown standing between the two females.

Apparently she lives in Missippi now and is a sales person for Passion Parties which is kind of like being a representative for Mary Kay except it's for sex toys and things like that.
